Judges have the following choices when sentencing a convicted RICO defendant

Yes, that's another way that GA case presents Trump with a far greater risk of actual jail time - there's a mandatory minimum sentence. Even if Trump were to be convicted on the New York state business fraud charges, it's highly unlikely that a judge would sentence a first-time offender to any real jail time. I've heard more than a few defense attorneys say the same thing about the classified documents case as well - that while Trump faces a very high theoretical jail sentence in that case, it's pretty likely that his sentence wouldn't involve any actual prison, if convicted.

Because the GA state crimes have mandatory minima, conviction comes with far greater peril for Trump's personal freedom.
